Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday afternoon, Head Coach Sean Payton dialed up a play based on tendencies the Broncos found in the Chargers' playoff loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars last season. Keying off a play in which the Jaguars gave the ball to running back Travis Etienne for an outside run, the Broncos lined up in the same formation and appeared to run back the same play with running back Javonte Williams.

Meinerz left the game against the Chargers at SoFi Stadium after the Associated Press reported that he had an elevated heart rate at halftime.
Sean Payton said Meinerz "is healthy and going to be fine."
Luke Wattenberg filled in at guard for Denver after Meinerz left the game.
"We feel like we've got a really strong developmental group of offensive linemen and they're smart and they're tough and they've got the traits that we're looking for. (Wattenberg) has done a good job and I thought he played well coming in in a moment like that," Payton said. "So I'm pleased with our depth there."
Campbell spoke to the media Monday in his weekly press conference and said despite the team's up and down struggles, no one is panicking.
"We start acting like the house is burning down. I mean, it's gonna get worse," Campbell said. "We know what we've got to do. I know exactly what we have to do. And I know this, it all starts tomorrow, we're gonna go back to work."
